The House Across the Lake can be added to the long list of "unreliable drunk female narrator" thrillers that gained popularity after Girl On A Train. Casey is drunk rich girl sequestered at her family's lake house to avoid the press after her husband's untimely death. Did I mention she's drunk? Casey drinks on every page. This is something Riley Sager won't let you forget! Drunk Casey gets herself tangled up in the lives of the people living across the lake after she becomes obsessed with watching them through her binoculars.
I won't spoil anything, but there is a paranormal plot twist like 75% of the way in that is so bananas I wanted to yeet my kindle across the room. Overall, I do not recommend this book. Most of the book is incredibly dull, until it's incredibly bonkers.
